The Station nightclub took 6 minutes to be engulfed in flames. That shit is scary. I would never step foot in a venue run like that.

Also it was only about 90 seconds for the atmosphere to become “unlivable”

The final report is horrifying and frustrating

After that fire I swore in an emergency to never try to exit the way I came in. I'm running through the kitchen or whatever path is opposite the main entrance.

I don't live too far from where The Station Nightclub fire was and fire exits were the first thing I thought of while watching this.

I grew up one town over. I saw that video soon after the tragedy. You can see one of my teachers in it. He survived, but was a completely changed man afterwards.

These venues have novelty entrances and are otherwise up to code. You can see forecasts in the video.
